I am a robotics researcher passionate about bringing intelligent systems from the laboratory to the field. As a Senior Staff Robotics Engineer at Burro.ai, I'm focused on creating autonomous mobile robots that work alongside people to solve real-world challenges.
My journey into commercial robotics was shaped by a unique blend of experiences. I previously advised on automation strategy as a Consulting Director for Robotics at LYF Innovations Ltd. Before that, I had the privilege of conducting research in the Department of Mechanical Engineering & Applied Mechanics at the University of Pennsylvania, working in Dr. Vijay Kumar's  world-class lab. This foundation in fundamental research continues to inform my approach to building practical and robust robotic systems today.
